Optimizing Wireless/RF Circuits

Select and optimize wireless/RF circuits.Get "last-word" guidelines for selecting and optimizing wireless/RF ICs with John D. Lenk's Optimizing Wireless/RF Circuits. As you'd expect from an author whose electronics guidebooks have sold over 2 million copies worldwide, instead of complex math and abstract theory this hands-on tool helps you configure robust circuits, handle components (capacitors, transistors, resistors, ICs most likely to cause circuit difficulties, boost frequency synthesizers, high-speed frequency dividers, direct frequency synthesizers, universal radio ICs, and log/linear amplifier ICs. No other work puts you in control of ICs and discrete-component circuits you'll find here (Until recently, many didn't even exist in IC form.) Plus you get several discrete-component examples to fast-track your next project. Annotation "Described by the author as "a crash course" in wireless/RF circuits, this book enables experimenters as well as engineers to get peak performance from off-the-shelf integrated circuits (ICs) in wireless and radio frequency (RF) design." "Packed with step-by-step instructions, illustrations, and diagrams, and written by one of the world's leading electronics authors, Optimizing Wireless/RF Circuits is a book that focuses on the circuits most needed in the growing number of wireless consumer products."--BOOK JACKET.
